One Year

Wow. I wasn't planning on writing anything about today being the one year anniversary of the blog, but there is one thing I would like to say: Thank you. Thank you to everyone who has ever read the blog, to anyone who as ever encouraged me to keep it up, to anyone who has ever commented on a post, to anyone who has ever emailed me and told me how much they hate the blog and think that I am worthless, to anyone who has ever provided inspiration, to anyone who has ever fed me a tip, to anyone who has ever told a friend about the blog, to anyone who I have pissed off and they still continue to read. Thank you. There is no way this blog would have lasted without the people who read it everyday. I would like to send out a special thanks to the UNH cops, dining and SCOPE for providing great material. Keep it up, please! The most important thanks definitely goes out to those at TNH.  The funny thing is I think they only discovered me because one of my first posts was about how they ran too much world news and not enough UNH news and that night I received a comment from last year's executive editor. I have gotten to know a few of them pretty well and the paper is in very good hands for the next two years. Working with them has been a great experience and I am looking forward to continue to work with them. I would like to say that I have a big surprise video or post or something but that is not going to happen. Maybe next year when I'm not in a dorm I'll throw a blog party, but all I can do now is say thanks again.

Stay classy, not UMassy.
(I promise to never write anything so cheesy again.)

  1. I'm surprised Stephenson Billings didn't get a personal shout out in there along with SCOPE and company, haha...

  2. He definitely would have but he didn't reply to my last email from about a month ago. I was hoping to reignite our chats...

  6. It may or may not be on hold for a few days. It's not exactly what I was hoping for, but is a decent alternative . timing was just a bit off. apologies.

  7. Actually, I discovered you when you scooped us on a story, which made me angry. Then you threatened to criticize the paper in a blog post, which made me double-angry. I extended my hand in friendship, but I was totally ready to get into an annoying paper vs. blog war, just ask our mutual friends at TNH. I'm glad I didn't try to do that, I've enjoyed your work over the past year.

    Congrats.
